Seed Circle Number 11 - The Exotics! 2012

[vicky]

Scarlet yours have arrived (and there's loads in there - thank you!)
Zaz, still waiting for yours, hope they're ok as they've been in transit a while now...

[veggiechicken]

Mine will be in the postbox this morning, Vicky!
Perennial leeks, Salt Spring Surprise tomatoes and passionfruit seeds saved from a supermarket fruit - some of my hoped for seeds came to nought

[alldigging]

What are Perennial leeks?

[veggiechicken]

Aka Babington Leeks - there are several threads about them - here's one http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...hem_62958.html
I have one 2 year old leek that I've saved the bulbils from and several more that I started this year from bulbils that I hope will flower next year. Then I can start building up a colony of them

[vicky]

Thanks VC I have your parcel...the leeks feel really chunky - not that I've been feeling or anything...

[veggiechicken]

They're little sets (bulbils) that formed in the flower head. Sorry that there are only 3 each but they all came from one leek!!

Er - yes they have.

Not had them back here.

Have you recieved mine Vicky? Twas sent quite a while ago now!!

[vicky]

I have Thea (just returned from hols hence the delay) Many thanks, they look interesting.

(Still no sign of Zaz's though...)

[zazen999]

Oh no - well, I'll have to drop out as I haven't got enough Potato Onions to do another batch.

[veggiechicken]

I do hope they turn up zaz - you have such interesting seeds

[northepaul]

Oh no - well, I'll have to drop out as I haven't got enough Potato Onions to do another batch.

thats so annoying for you! x

[Scarlet]

Oh no - well, I'll have to drop out as I haven't got enough Potato Onions to do another batch.

That's such a shame yours have been lost in the post- I had some peas go missing for a month last year!! Anyway everyone has put seeds aside for you so surely you could just send Vicky another SAE

[vicky]

It is annoying - Zaz's seeds are always really interesting. And I bet whoever has them doesn't appreciate them....
You will still get your share of the other's seeds, but it's looking a bit sparse at the moment. I'm going to pm the non responders again.

Don't worry about it Vicky - honest! I've got plenty and can miss a year.

Bit annoying - wherever they are they have probably rooted and are rotting away somewhere in a warehouse in the cold
